It's My Birthday
Today is my birthday! And I am in process of being excited about it. I am in process in finding meaning and significance in being in my 40's.
Along the way over the past handful of years, I have discovered somethings that I wanted you to know. It's ok to delight in the life you have in the fact that you are getting older. Come along with me on my birthday and enjoy a poem and some early 2000's rap.

Fate, Destiny, and Taylor Swift w/ Aleena Kresnik
What's the difference between Fate and Destiny, and what does Taylor Swift say about looking within ourselves for the answers to these deep questions?
My daughter has been taking Apologetics for two years as part of our Christian Classical school curriculum. This class, among the others she has taken, has forced her to reckon with her faith as well as ideas shared by those who don't adhere to the Christian faith. She asked me to help her with an assignment, so why not come on the podcast and share what she's been learning?
I hope...
